44. And it was said: O earth! Swallow thy water
and O sky! Be cleared of clouds! And the water was made to subside and the
Commandment was fulfilled; and it (the ship) came to rest upon (the mount) Al-Judi and it was said: A far removal
for wrongdoing folk!

‘Ib-la-‘ii – (Swallow!), it is a feminine word of command,
which has been derived from the word bal-‘un. Bal-‘un means “to
swallow). Here; it aims “to imbibe the water, to absorb”.

‘Aqli-‘ii – (Stop!), it is also a feminine word of
command from the word ‘aqlaa’, which has come out from the word qal-‘a.
Qal-‘a means “to uproot from its place”. ‘Aqlaa’ means “to stop the
work”.

Giiza – (was made to subside), it is a past passive voice
tense. Origin of this word is gay-zun, which means “to remove or
disappear in the earth”. Here; it aims “to dry up and evaporate the water”.

Bu’-dan – (Begone), it is an origin which means “a far
removal and to get away”. When it is kept in its form then it aims “a curse and
to threaten”, as we say: Be off O rejected persons. Here, abhorrence from the
wrongdoers has been disclosed; who were ruined but they did not refrain from
their stubbornness.

It is commanded that the earth was ordered that it should stop causing
to gush forth the water, and the sky was commanded that it should cease
raining. After a few days, peaks of the mountains began to appear in the water
and the ship of Noah (peace be upon him) came to rest upon a mount; named Al-Juudii.
This hurricane finished the arrogant miscreants entirely. A sound echoed in the
openness: A far removal for the wrongdoing folk.

It has not been explained in the Holy Qur’an that whether the
storm had come over the entire earth or only in the hemisphere of Babel. It aims
only to cause to understand that when wicked deeds of the wrongdoer nations
increase more than enough, then the wrath of Allah Almighty ruins them, whether
that destruction adopt any form, for example, famine or plague, flood or war.
Therefore, every human being should fear from the wrath of God Almighty, and
correct their conduct.
